This test was to compared the following three winter
treatments for young cows on bluestem pasture. Treatment
1 -- One pound of soybean oil meal and 2 pounds of ground
sorghum grain per head daily during the entire ...

Results of previous similar research have been
reported in Kansas Agicu1tural Experiment Station Bulletins 483, 493, 507, and 518.
Trials at several research centers and here have
shown that roughage may be satisfactorily ...

When urea is fed to ruminants, it is immediately converted
to ammonia by an enzyme, urease. The ammonia usually
becomes available faster than rumen bacteria can convert it
to protein. Studies were reported last year ...

Wintering and finishing performances of beef steers have
been compared at Colby, Garden City, Manhattan and Mound
Valley. When feeds were grown locally, cattle at Garden
City and Colby outperformed those at Manhattan ...

The ability of beef cows to produce heavy, vigorous
and good quality calves every year is one of their most
important economic traits. Feeding practices have been
reported to influence average daily gain (ADG) and ...

Two pairs of identical twin heifer calves were grazed
together on bluestem pasture from 1961 until 1968. During
the two winters, 1961-63 each ones daily supplement was 1

Kamar heatmount detectors were used last spring on 45
Polled Hereford cows 3 to 12 years old. Bulls ran with the
cows. Most cows became pregnant, which lessened observations
as the breeding season progressed. Detectors ...

Cow and calf performance under four winter nutritional
levels was evaluated, using 61 purebred Polled and high grade
Hereford cows randomly allotted to obtain approximately equal
pregnant and open cows in each group. ...

Data are available to indicate proper wintering rations
for beef cows under dry lot conditions, but few are available
under range management for Kansas. This is our first
attempt to determine adequate winter rations for ...

Feedstuffs pass through cattle in approximately four
days; however, steam-flaked rations may have a faster rate
of passage. How much value do cattle derive from feed fed
the last few days prior to slaughter, particularly ...

This experiment was to determine the effect of increased early summer stocking and burning on cattle performance,
productivity of pastures and range condition as
determined by plant population changes.
Early stocking ...

The influence of cow weight at parturition and during the
lactation on preweaning performance of calves was evaluated.
Hereford cattle at the Fort Hays Branch Experiment Station
were used. Purebred sires had been used ...

Research done here in 1967 and 1968 indicated that
adding a complete supplement to forage as it was ensiled gave
results equal to using soybean meal at the time of feeding.
The research continued to improve the complete ...
